So, I hooked up my remaining 5 boards without a mini-plane, switched out the USB cables, and plugged them directly into my desktop. They seem to be running okay and I did not have the usual problems of being unrecognized by Win7 when I plug in more than 3 boards.





I am sure a fix is on the way and this will be sorted out in a few days. I do hope the dead boards can be revived somehow.

Are you using a mini-plane for power? Or, are they stand alone? I am debating if I should even try connecting them again until there is a fix. 

Three of my boards are no longer responding with a green light. The other five are unstable beyond two to five minutes. The thumb is still running fine though.

Does anyone know of a way to reset the three dead boards? If not, can I mail it back to be fixed?

My advise is don't try using a mini-plane at all and definitely do not try the double scroll. It may disable your boards.

My bad. I thought that I read that somewhere. I only have Lancelots; the BA bitfurys sold out pretty fast.

Both the Lancelots and the Bitfury boards are controlled through USB. I am thinking they will continue to use USB. I believe it provides more control for overclocking.

Are thumbs being sent separately from board orders? Are all coming from AUS or will USA orders come separately?

Thanks,

It's Bitpay's exchange rate, nothing Amagi can do about it. Bitpay was much higher yesterday. I was able to get a transaction at $639.99 mid-day. It was over $700 at some point yesterday. It's currently at $513 https://bitpay.com/bitcoin-exchange-rates.

+1 same here. Although I blame Yifu as much as Matthew for this. Matthew should have sent out the corresponding percentage from his refund. I think the increase in value of BTC and greed got the best of him.

O, okay. Thanks. I just don't want to loose 10% as part of some partial refund if Blackarrow is not okay with this group buy.

Yeah, it is my fault for bidding so high. I was thinking Yifu would have a higher cut off price since they were originally listed for 6btc each. O, well. I just hope shipping is included.

Anyone hear back from Tradehill?

I paid 3BTC each, so I don't think you will have much luck at that price. I am still waiting to see if they try to charge extra for shipping.

by making a deal with the devil ...

This is a good offer considering 60Gh Avalons are up for auction starting at 2BTC. You might be able to get 600Gh for that price.

The website states the following:

"Question: Why you do not accept group buys?

Answer: We have an experienced and dedicated customer support team that is able to provide a high quality service. They are qualified in handling and fixing all matters that might arise. Direct contact with our customers will also improve our products and customer service.

We also believe that a random person from the internet that organizes a group buy is both not qualified to handle customer support, shipping matters including local customs and might also not be trustworthy to receive all your money, forward them to us and distribute the merchandise to you. If we would accept a group buy and anything goes wrong with it, although legally we won't be responsible for this, our customers will be unhappy.

For these reasons we strictly prohibit group buys"

The more worrying part is the 10% charge for trying to do a groupbuy,

"Group buys: Group buys are not permitted. We will cancel any order that we discover that is a group buy and will refund the payment minus 10% that we will charge for our time wasted in this matter. By placing an order for this item you agree with the above."

I thought Blackarrow was very much against group buys like this.

I'm in for one X3 . Blackarrow delivered on the Lancelots, I believe they will deliver on their ASICs. Their timeline seems more realistic than others and KNC has proven that it can be done quickly if the process is well managed.

16 @ $10 each

The server PSU plugs right in (red pull tab facing away from the blades) and runs at a steady 799 watts. It is loud as crap and feels too heavy for the backplane connector. I would happily swap one for a regular ATX PSU with a 800w or higher ratting.

I could be wrong but I don't think Burnin does discounts. At least that is what he said with Avalon bitburners. I don't think you will get a reply if you ask for a discount.
